I have asked release team about this package. But there is no reply yet.

There are only two changes in upstream between versions 2.0 and 2.1:
  * Accepted my patch fix-build-on-kfreebsd-and-hurd-i386.
  * Updated translations.

Hmm, I don't see symlinks in /usr/share/themes/ in my systems. Is it really
possible situation?

Program don't scan user's home directory, but only ~/.themes/ subdirectory.
So I think the problem is related with symlinks. I'll ask him to check it.

Current package already has minimal possible changes in sources and updated
translations.
